Alloy 20, also known as UNS N08020 or Carpenter 20, is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy specifically designed to provide excellent resistance to sulfuric acid and other corrosive chemical environments. It contains controlled additions of copper and molybdenum, which enhance its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion.
Alloy 20 was originally developed for use in sulfuric acid-related industries, but its outstanding corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties have made it widely used in chemical processing, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and marine industries.
